Some children around eight months old can pronounce simple monosyllables and the like. If they can call someone, they are very smart. There are also some children with better development who can barely stand up while holding on to things.

Zhu Xiongying can't stand up now and can't control his balance, but he can address people very clearly, but he can't say too much. The development of his vocal cords is still improving, and more time may be needed.

After being carried to the Chunhe Palace by Empress Ma, Zhu Xiongying immediately shouted happily, "Mother."

Mrs. Chang, who was holding her big belly, immediately smiled and said very happily, "Xiongying, do you miss your mother?"

Zhu Xiongying immediately said, "I want to!"

Filial piety is an excellent virtue recognized by people in any era. In the Ming Dynasty, which ruled the world with filial piety, the pure filial piety of the prince was a bonus!

"Take good care of yourself. You will probably give birth in a while." Queen Ma looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "We will take care of Xiongying, so you don't have to worry too much. Take good care of yourself and give Xiongying a baby."

A younger brother is the best, so I can help him when the time comes!"

Mrs. Chang, who was holding her son in her arms, responded with a smile, "My daughter-in-law thinks so too. If she is lucky enough to give Xiongying a younger brother, that would be great."

Zhu Xiongying, who was held in Chang's arms, was thinking that it was the early death of her mother-in-law Chang that would allow Lü to be rehabilitated in the future. But was Chang's illness or other reasons the premature death?

, then it’s hard to say.

In fact, in this era, even for emperors and princes, sometimes an illness can kill them.

Look at Mrs. Chang like this. She looks very healthy, but she is busy giving birth to a child with almost no rest. This must be too much. Giving birth to a child is extremely debilitating, and giving birth to a child in this era is like going to hell.<

/p>

It's a pity that he is just a child now and can't speak clearly, let alone expect everyone to care about his opinion. Even if he is smart, in everyone's eyes, he is just a child.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying soon welcomed his first sister.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little disappointed, but he didn't care. It would be nice to have a biological eldest grandson. His son couldn't even take care of him, so his granddaughter only looked at her son and daughter-in-law for their sake, and that was enough.

Zhu Xiongying stood up unsteadily. People around him were looking at him happily and cheering for him in low voices.

This is in the residence of Cao Guogong Li Zhen, so naturally the people here are my own family members.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, Li Wenzhong led his army to a great victory over Bei Yuan last year. There was also a young and heroic young man beside him, Zhu Yuanzhang's godson, General Zhenguo, and fellow magistrate of the Governor's Office, Mu Ying.

Mu Ying does not have a title now, but he has a prominent status. The Dudufu is the military center of the Ming Dynasty, and controls the world's troops. The continuous experience in the Dudufu has also made Mu Ying decisive, smart and perceptive.

His talents grew faster and he received countless praises from Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.

Li Zhen looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile and said, "Emperor's eldest grandson, let's have a drink?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately complained and said, "Brother-in-law, you know how to tease our grandson. Our hero doesn't care about drinking!"

This is also Zhu Yuanzhang's fault. A few days ago, he enjoyed the fun of teasing his grandson. While eating, he also thought of some common fun of teasing his grandson, so he dipped his chopsticks in some wine to please his grandson.

Try it.

As a result, his grandson didn't want to drink, so he coaxed and lied. The impact was naturally that he was driven away without even finishing the meal. He could only seek some tenderness from other concubines, but he didn't have to hope for it from the queen's side.

Zhu Xiongying, who was held in his arms, stretched out his short, white hands and picked up the wine glass in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. This naturally required the cooperation of Emperor Hongwu, otherwise Zhu Xiongying would not be able to touch the wine glass.

Picking up the small wine glass, Zhu Xiongying made a milky sound and said, "Great-uncle, drink."

When Li Zhen picked up the wine glass with a smile, Zhu Yuanzhang's Chinese-character face appeared, and he stuck his head to Zhu Xiongying's side. Although he had to lower his head and it was a bit difficult to drink, he didn't care and drank half the glass of wine in an exaggerated manner.

It's like drinking nectar.

Although he had drunk a lot of good wine, it seemed to Zhu Yuanzhang that the one he just drank was the most delicious. As long as his grandson was around, Zhu Yuanzhang would only pour half a glass of wine, just to let his grandson help him pour the wine and feed him.

This is the real pleasure of entertaining grandchildren.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his nephew and godson, and said with a smile, "The prince is now watching the government and helping us with things. You two have been in the army for a long time, and you have made some progress. Practice well and you will be able to help in the future."

The prince does things. There are no outsiders here. They are all members of our own family. The prince is also your brother, so you have to protect him."

This is not just something to say casually. In order to consolidate Zhu Ming's imperial power, Zhu Yuanzhang has been preparing since he ascended the throne. The "Ancestors' Records" which was just compiled this year was officially completed. He personally wrote the preface for it and ordered the Ministry of Rites to publish it into a book.<

/p>

There is a family of relatives appointed by the emperor here. Needless to say, brother-in-law Li Zhen's family, Mu Ying is also a recognized relative, including Xu Da and Wuding Marquis Guo Ying. These are all relatives.

The Chang family is also considered a relative, that’s just because it is the Crown Princess’s family, but this generation is considered a relative’s family. From now on, it’s hard to say.

Also formalized are the naming rules of the Zhu family. Zhu Xiongying is the most unique name among the old Zhu family.

Li Wenzhong and Mu Ying naturally accepted the order. They were adopted and educated by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. They were grateful to the emperor and empress. They also loved and cared for the prince Zhu Biao from the bottom of their hearts.

It is said that Emperor Hongwu loved the prince so much that he immediately conferred the title of prince on his accession to the throne. He also packed up the top figures among the founding heroes and stuffed them into the East Palace to serve as subordinate officials of the East Palace.

Speaking of the East Palace Prince's team in the past dynasties, there is absolutely no East Palace team that can compare with the current Crown Prince.

Previously, there were Li Shanchang, the prime minister on the left, who was also the prince's young master, Xu Da, the right prime minister, who was also the prince's young master, and Chang Yuchun, who recorded important military and state affairs in Zhongshu Pingzhang, who was also the prince's young master. These were the three divisions of the prince and the three major contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Being able to have them in the East Palace

A subordinate official is the real important minister.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Now that the world has been settled, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty invade the border from time to time. Although Bashu has just been pacified in the southwest, Xifan is still causing chaos. There are still some mobs and barbarians causing chaos. The world is not yet stable. You all have to come up with something.

Power."

Empress Ma, who was helping with the family banquet, was unhappy and said, "If you have anything to do, go to the court and talk about it. Go to your Wuying Hall or the boss's Wenhua Hall to talk about this. This is the family banquet, let's talk as a family.

, don’t talk about those things that happened in the court here.”

"Chengchengcheng, I can't speak to you." Lao Zhu immediately stated his position, "We can't understand that when we first got married, you were a husband and a wife. Now that you are a queen, your temper is getting worse and worse, and we don't even dare to talk to you.

!"

Empress Ma picked up Zhu Xiongying and said, "Then don't talk to us and go find your concubines. If you don't talk to us, we will be happy and leisurely, just taking care of our meat."
p>

Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy, "You woman are messing around again, you are the queen, you must be tolerant!"

The other people said nothing. It was said that the emperor was relatively stable this year, and there was no news of any concubines or concubines in the palace being pregnant. In the past few years, there were princes and princesses, but there has been no news until now this year.

Besides, everyone is not surprised that the emperor and the queen always have some disputes. It is said that after your majesty became emperor, the generals who followed him from his hometown were timid and cautious in front of his majesty. That is to say, the queen has not changed at all.

They will not give in to the emperor.

Zhu Xiongying was anxious. He put his arms around Queen Ma's neck and pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Grandma, Grandpa."

Queen Ma looked at her grandson and immediately comforted her softly, "Don't worry, hero. Grandma is not arguing with your grandfather. We are just talking."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up quickly, came closer and said, "There's no quarrel, no quarrel, we're fine!"

Zhu Xiongying then looked happy, kissed Queen Ma on the face, and then kissed Zhu Yuanzhang who had turned his face to wait.

This family cannot be without the eldest grandson of the emperor. This little man has put in a lot of effort for the harmony of this family.

Empress Ma hugged Zhu Xiongying and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "You should be careful when speaking in front of Xiongying in the future. You are impatient and can't hold back your words. Don't scare our grandson."
